CURRENT WEATHER SITUATION:
A high pressure system over the Tasman Sea will remain in the region during the next few days, directing an easterly airstream into a trough across inland NSW. This easterly stream, in conjunction with the trough will lead to the possibility of isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms over Alpine areas for the following few days. An approaching cold front is expected to link with the trough to bring an increase in shower activity late in the week.

FORECAST:

TODAY:
Partly cloudy, with afternoon showers and thunderstorms developing. Generally light northwest to southwest winds.

OUTLOOKS:
WEDNESDAY:
Isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Light and variable winds.

THURSDAY:
Isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Light to moderate northwest winds freshening later.

FRIDAY:
Scattered showers increasing to rain periods, and the chance of thunderstorms. West to southwest winds.

BACKCOUNTRY:
Walking is excellent at lower elevations with wild flowers prolific due to regular rainfall recently. Cool in the morning so fresh and overcast day so things will be cool with probable showers later through the day.
Good thing is not too many flies!
